✭WHAT IF...
Good birth management begins in the prenatal period. We provide a strong focus on prevention, but should there be complications that require a hospital transport, we can be with you every step of the way.

Please do. This is not a hospital, and you are free to move around as much as you need to.. Our equipment is portable so go ahead and take the lead — we'll follow you.

Rachel was amazing. You all were but my most vivid memory was hearing her voice when I thought I was alone. And then she was like tree roots for me grounding me when I thought I couldn't do it. All three of you were so amazing in the process. Truly Rachel, you'll be an amazing midwife. Shell, very grateful for you being wonderful teacher. I couldn't imagine bringing children into the world without you all.”

✭BIRTH CERTIFICATE
It’s a piece of cake. We will register your home birth as attending midwives and in 3-6 weeks you can purchase a copy of the certificate from the Arizona State Department of Vital Records.
✭DEPARTURE
We wont leave until we are satisfied that both you and your baby are healthy and happy. Sometimes that is 2 hours after the birth and sometimes it is much more. During this time we will take out your garbage, get the laundry going, clean-up and remove all birthing items, make sure that you are fed and do our utmost to make sure that your home is at least as tidy and clean as when we arrived. We will return in 24-36 hours to check in on you and baby.
